Shrimp Fra Diavolo

Shrimp Fra Diavolo
With Linguine and Robust Chile Flake Tomato Sauce
Heralded as a sexy dish that inspires romance, fra diavolo is known for being the perfect date of the culinary world–a
little bit dangerous (spicy, lingering heat of the red pepper flakes) and a lot nice (sweet, juicy shrimp). What else
would you expect from a pasta that literally means “devil brother” in Italian? Plus, it’s so simple and fast that you can
impress your date (or just yourself) in mere minutes.

DRINK PAIRING
Shrimp and beer go together like
peanut butter and jelly. Pop the
cap off of an amber ale, pilsner,
or stout.
INGREDIENTS
2 Garlic Cloves
2 Oregano Sprigs
2 Thyme Sprigs
2 Parsley Sprigs
1 Red Onion
16 Shrimp
8 oz. Linguine
2 oz. White Cooking Wine
14 oz. Diced Tomatoes,
Canned
½ tsp. Red Pepper Flakes
Prepare the Ingredients
Bring a medium pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Place
a colander in the sink. Throughly rinse produce and pat dry.
Mince garlic. Stem and mince oregano, thyme, and parsley.
Peel and mince red onion. Rinse shrimp and pat dry. Getting
the water boiling first allows you to complete vegetable prep, and
then jump right into cooking pasta in the next step.
Cook the Pasta
Add linguine to boiling water and cook 7-9 minutes, or until
al dente (still has a hint of firmness). Once cooked, strain
pasta in colander and return to pot. Toss with 1 tsp. olive oil
and keep covered until ready to serve. Tossing with oil keeps
the pasta from sticking.
WHAT YOU NEED
Olive Oil
Salt
Pepper
Start the Sauce
In a medium pan over medium-high heat, add 1 tsp. olive
oil. Once warm, add garlic and onion and cook 1-2 minutes
or until fragrant. Add white wine and simmer 1 minute then
add diced tomatoes (including juice from the can), a little
pinch of red pepper flakes (they’re spicy, so use sparingly!),
and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Add the Shrimp
Allow sauce to come to a light boil, add shrimp, and simmer
for about 3-4 minutes, stirring sauce occasionally, until the
shrimp curl up, turn bright pink, and reach a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees. Add oregano and thyme to
sauce and cook for another minute. Season with a pinch of
salt and pepper.
Plate the Dish
Ladle a serving of linguine onto a plate or in a shallow dish.
Top pasta with fra diavolo sauce and shrimp. Garnish with
fresh parsley, remaining red pepper flakes (if you love
spice), and black pepper.
